Outline of Final Research Achievements

A turn to transnational aeriality in the mid-twentieth century United States changed the way of seeing the Earth, races, and species, and their relationships to one another and to the environment. This project examines a diverse but select set of what I heuristically call aerial archives. The operative definition of this term refers to texts (literary, visual, material, or otherwise) that operate as archiving systems, representing a shift in aeriality and the corollary shifting ground of race―and the human race―that it caused.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近年のアメリカ文学研究は、トランスナショナルな視座への転回と連携し、地表レベルのメタジオグラフィー(海洋、半球、島、島嶼)に依拠し、間大西洋、半球、環太平洋、島嶼といった空間論的な展開を見せてきた。本研究は「航空アーカイヴ」という概念を導入し、新しいアフリカ系アメリカ文学研究の方法論を呈示するものである。
